Holiday Hair, Don’t Care: Simple Holiday Hair Two Ways in 10 Minutes

I’ve seen a lot of hair tutorials for the holidays popping up lately, but the ones that look chic are anything but effortless to throw together in a hurry. And I for one don’t have 45 extra minutes laying around to get my hair looking just right before flying out the door for holiday parties, etc. What about you?

So, today’s holiday hair tutorial is simple AND quick… Kind of a no-fuss holiday (or non holiday) hair scenario, two ways in 10 minutes! Click through for the tutorial.

Instructions

Section hair and pull top half into a pony, as shown, with a rubber band. Then wrap a small length of hair from your ponytail around the rubber band to cover it and tuck the end back into the underside of the rubber band.

Next, tease the ponytail toward the top. Then, tie all hair together with a rubber band to form a low pony. Tease toward the top of the pony again. At this point, you can leave the ponytail as is OR pin up the tail of the pony – rolling and tucking the remaining hair underneath and pinning with bobby pins. Spray with hairspray for maximum hold.
